22 Things That Made All Kids Who Grew Up In The 2000s Unnecessarily Stressed

    Today's kids will never know the struggle of the 160 character limit for texting.

    1. Struggling to find a phone case that no one else had.

    2. Hurriedly clicking out of your mobile's internet screen hoping you weren't charged for those three seconds.

    3. And fearing that your parents might accidentally accept your collect call instead of just hanging up.

    4. Spending way too long trying to decide which polyphonic ringtone to get because they were SO expensive.

    5. Or getting stressed over everyone not shutting up while you tried to record a song off the radio for your ringtone instead.

    6. Having to toss up between two Picnik photo edits that you thought were perfect.

    7. And trying to decide on the the Blingy pic with the best saying for your MSN avatar.

    8. Spending ages downloading a song on Limewire only for it to be the wrong track for the 17th time.

    9. Tangling up the plastic of your correction tape within the first five minutes of using it.

    10. And losing one of the leads on your stackable pencil, rendering it totally useless.

    11. Breaking your mouse because the ball you took out to play with rolled off the table to an unreachable place.

    12. Trying to avoid spoilers while rewinding a VHS you rented, because the person who returned it before you didn't.

    13. And excitedly grabbing a free omelette on Neopets…only to find out you got the rotten one.

    14. Realising you scratched your favourite CD because you tried to force multiple into the one book sleeve.

    15. And finding out you didn't space the words out enough on your mix CD when you already started writing them.

    16. Trying to perfectly time your voicemail recording with the chorus of your favourite song.

    17. Accidentally pressing a number too many times and having to go through the entire text cycle again to get the letter you wanted.

    18. Then reaching the 160 character limit while texting without getting your full point across.

    19. Going through all Clip Art photos for your Powerpoint presentation and having none of them suit your project.

    20. Letting your sticky hand toy touch the ground once, and having it lose all stickiness in the process.

    21. Having a friend nudge you on MSN too many times, making it impossible to do anything else on your computer.

    22. And like, just literally everything about this video and this game.
